The family of a Devon artist who was found hanged at his home have told an inquest they suspect he was murdered.

Simon Cauty, who is the brother of former KLF rock star Jim Cauty, was found dead at his farm near Kingsbridge two days after he was allegedly attacked during an altercation over his lover.

A coroner at an inquest in Plymouth last week rejected the claims of Mr Cauty's sister Susan Acford, who told the hearing she was concerned Simon had been murdered in December 2016.

The inquest took place at Plymouth Coroner's Court

Plymouth coroner Andrew Cox had already adjourned the inquest once to allow police to make more inquiries into her allegations. He recorded a suicide verdict after the four-month inquiry produced no evidence of foul play.
